Overview
Common risk factors in the development of bursitis include rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, gout, pseudogout, cellulitis, diabetes mellitus, use of systemic glucocorticoids, alcoholism, malignancy, and leukopenia. Additionally, having a hobby or job that involves repetitive motions such as bicycling, playing baseball, gardening, or setting tiles may lead to bursitis.[1]
