The Board denied service connection for various conditions, including a bilateral foot condition, left and right ankle conditions, hand conditions, knee conditions, shoulder conditions, wrist conditions, and a back condition, as the evidence did not show current diagnoses or that these conditions were related to active duty.

The deciding factor: The evidence failed to show any current diagnosis of the claimed conditions, and there was no indication that the Veteran's preexisting back condition was aggravated by his service.
