Can A Cortisone Shot Cause UTI?
Hello, Can a cortisone shot cause a UTI? I had one in my right shoulder ,where the collarbone meets the shoulder 8 days ago and the last few days I have been experiencing a UTI. I drink 60-80 oz water throughout a day and one cup coffee in the morning and 1 glass of milk with dinner.

Hello,
Not really. It lowers immunity very slightly if at all. Otherwise, there isn't any connection at all. I cannot say in your particular case, but generally, this would be a coincidence.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman
