The Board denied service connection for multiple conditions, including gastrointestinal, headache, foot, elbow, and hand conditions, as the evidence did not support a current diagnosis or symptoms related to these conditions during the pendency of the claims.

The deciding factor: The evidence failed to show that the Veteran had a current disability or persistent or recurrent symptoms related to the claimed conditions, including pain alone resulting in functional impairment of earning capacity.
