The veteran's service connection for right foot swelling and left foot swelling due to venous insufficiency is granted. The veteran's service connection for residuals of a right knee injury is also granted.,Beginning on August 1, 2000, the veteran's service-connected chronic myofascial pain of the back (previously chronic myofascial pain syndrome) is rated at 10 percent.

The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the veteran has been diagnosed with venous insufficiency in both feet and right knee injury residuals. The Board finds these conditions are related to service, granting service connection for them.,The veteran's chronic myofascial pain of the back (previously chronic myofascial pain syndrome) is rated at 10 percent as it more nearly approximates slight limitation of motion.
