Several occupations and recreational activities may increase the risk of developing bursitis, including gardening and yard work (such as raking), carpentry, carpet laying, tile laying and other construction professions. Recreational activities like skiing, tennis, or other sports that involve throwing or pitching may increase the risk as well.

People who suffer from bursitis have painful and uncomfortable symptoms, many of which may mimic arthritis symptoms. Among these:
● Soreness or stiffness in the affected joint
● Pain, especially when the joint is moved or when pressure is applied to it
● Swelling or redness of the affected joint
