Aseptic bursitis is commonly caused by prolonged pressure, overuse, or strenuous activity. Elbows and knees are the most commonly affected because they are rested upon more than many other parts of the body with bursae and they also get the most repetitive use. Shoulder bursitis is more commonly due to overuse of the shoulder joint and muscles. Inflammation of bursae can also be caused by other inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Spondyloarthritis. Gout and pseudogout can also be a cause of bursitis. Common causes of septic bursitis include Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Streptococcus spp.
