The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection of a left lower extremity nerve disability, finding that there is no evidence of such a condition in service or due to his service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was no objectively diagnosed left lower extremity nerve disability and that the Veteran did not have radiculopathy. The Board also noted that subjective pain alone does not establish a current disability, and considered the objective evidence which did not indicate such a condition.
