Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for left shin splints due to a lack of an adequate medical opinion regarding its etiology.
The deciding factor: A medical examiner must provide an opinion on the etiological relationship between the Veteran's in-service incident and her current left shin splints, as there is insufficient evidence currently on record.
