- Middle age
- Diabetes
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Osteoarthritis

- Having a hobby or job that involves repetitive motions such as bicycling, playing baseball, gardening, or setting tiles.
Common risk factors in the development of septic bursitis include:
- Trauma
- Cellulitis
- Diabetes mellitus
- Steroid therapy
- Alcoholism
- Uremia
Anatomic Location
- Ankle
- Improper footwear (high heel shoes)
- overuse in sports like ice-skating
- prolonged walking
- Elbow
- Repetitively bending and extending the elbow
- Vacuuming
- Playing tennisor baseball
- Hip
- Prolonged standing or sitting (bicycle seat)
- Knee
- Kneeling, such as gardening, or installing floor tile, may lead to a soft, egg-shaped bump on the front of the knees. A direct blow to the kneecap can lead to bursitis of the knee, as can having arthritis and being overweight.
- Shoulder
- Repetitive activities involving reaching overhead with the arm, lifting, or a fall can irritate the bursa near the rotator cuff, (the muscles and tendons linking the upper arm bone to the shoulder blade)
