Hello,
It is not normal to feel worse after stretching. It is recommended to do stretching exercises while having bursitis. The exercises should be done under the supervision of a physical therapist who can dive you which exercises are correct.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
