Could Pain While Urination And Smell Of Burnt Rubber A Symptom Of UTI?

I think I have a uti because I've been having pain while I urinate and it feels like I have to urinate a lot, but when I do, only a little comes out. Recently, my urine has been smelling like burnt rubber. Is this something I should be worried about?
