Getting Depomedrol Injection For Herniated Disc Also Undergoing Gastroscopy Due To Weight Loss. Any Adverse Interactions Between Two?

My mom is getting a depomedrol injection on Friday for ongoing pain related to herniated disc and she is also having a gastroscopy on Monday as she has lost about 20 pounds over the last 1 year and an abdominal ultrasound identified possibility of her having an abdominal ulcer. Is there any adverse interactions between the two procedures and should she put off having the depomedrol injection until after the gastroscopy?
