Knee Bursitis

Causes and Risk Factors:

• Frequent kneeling, especially on hard surfaces (common in jobs like plumbing or gardening)
• Direct blows or falls to the knee
• Repetitive knee movement or pressure
• Infections, especially if there’s a cut near the knee
• Arthritis or other joint conditions
• Previous knee injuries
