Common Causes & Risk Factors of Bursitis

Hobbies or Occupations

If your daily activities or work involve a lot of repetitive movements, it would increase the risks of developing bursitis. Also, those jobs that place constant pressure on the bursae would cause this condition. These include playing musical instruments, gardening, setting tiles, laying carpets, and more. Even professional athletes would suffer from bursitis due to the high levels of intensity when practicing or playing. The pain and inflammation might occur in different parts of the body, such as the ankle, shoulder, knee, thigh, and hip. [5]
