Brief Answer:
Better treat the infection first.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I read your query and here is my advice.

The corticosteroid injections are applied in the articulation but they can still have systemic effects (effects in the whole organism). They don't interfere with antibiotics but if you are having an infection your body fights it better if you are not on corticosteroids effects.
So the best thing to do is to get treated first for UTI then continue with corticosteroids injection.
If your doctor considers that the injection should be done as soon as possible then you can have it despite the UTI.
You can also discuss it with your doctor who is doing the injection.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.
