I have been diagnosed with severe trochantic bursitis. I have complained about an uncomfortable passenger bucket seat in a 2015 Town and Country van we bought in August. Each time I ride in it, the irritation increases. The five other seats are comfortable but the wing of the passenger seat hurts me in the hip/lower back area. Foam back pillows have relieved the pressure somewhat. Could this irritation possibly be the cause of my bursitis?
Hello, Yes of there is continuous imitation at same point then it can cause such bursitis. But it is very uncommon. I would suggest you to visit an orthopedic doctor and get it examined. Sometimes it can be misdiagnosed and problem can be something else.  If you are confirmed for this diagnosis then you need to take govern 50 mg tablet twice daily. Fluid aspiration is also helpful. Hot water fomentation is also useful. Some time in resistant cases you need to remove this bursa surgically.
