The Board has granted service connection for left hip trochanteric pain syndrome and iliopsoas tendonitis, right hip trochanteric pain syndrome and iliopsoas tendonitis, right carpal tunnel syndrome, and right hand tendonitis. Service connection is denied for a left wrist disability and a left hand disability.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's bilateral hip disabilities, right carpal tunnel syndrome, and right hand tendonitis are proximately due to her service-connected knee and lumbar spine disabilities. The left wrist and left hand disabilities were not shown to be related to active service.
