The veteran's claims for service connection for various disabilities, including low back, left shoulder, bilateral knee, wrist and hand, and foot disorders are denied as there is no evidence of current disability related to service.

The deciding factor: There was no evidence of any current disability on VA examination in June 2001 or subsequent VA outpatient reports. The veteran's symptoms during service resolved with conservative treatment.
