The Board denied service connection for cervical spine, lumbar spine, left shoulder, right shoulder, and right elbow disorders as there was no evidence of in-service injury or disease, continuity of symptomatology, or a nexus to military service.

The deciding factor: A medical nexus was not established between the claimed conditions and the Veteran's military service due to lack of evidence of an in-service injury or disease, continuity of symptomatology, or a direct causal relationship.
