The Board denied service connection for various conditions, including bilateral plantar fasciitis, chronic pain syndrome, sciatic radicular pain of both legs, traumatic brain injury (TBI), shin splints of both legs, thoracic spondylosis, right shoulder strain, right wrist strain, acne, and allergic rhinitis.

The deciding factor: The most persuasive evidence demonstrated that the Veteran's conditions did not have their onset during active duty service and were not otherwise etiologically related to service.
