Default tendonosis and TOS

Thanks all. I've been reading about tendonosis at http://tendinosis.org/ which I saw at sorehand. I think that I probably have tendonosis in many body sites (not all upper body) as well as the dx bilateral TOS and previous dx of various tendonitus sites which either didn't heal or returned. So I've been thinking that it would be good to get that evaluated. What do you think the relationship is between tendonitus/tendonosis and TOS? I can see that hypermobility could be related to tendonosis and bodywide RSIs but I haven't ever understood if tendon injuries are precursors to TOS.

"Therefore, tendinosis is a slow accumulation of little injuries that are not repaired properly and leave the tendon vulnerable to yet more injury. This failed healing process is the reason many people with tendinosis don't completely heal from it and can't go back to their previous level of activity. Once the tendinosis cycle starts, the tendon rarely heals back to its pre-injury state."
