u.s.a.
have any of you had it happen where your urine smells terrible and sometimes my kidney area hurts--after certain medications
(sometimes my liver gallbladder area hurts during these flares too)

ie tylenol can do this and iburprofen to less degree

I recently had extra lidocaine shots when at dentist for a procedure and pee smelled for about 5 days after that--

I am assuming it is related to kidney function, difficulty breaking down meds or something

it always goes away

it hasn't been like this my whole life, just as i get older (over 50....)

and if anyone has suggestions on what kidney functioning blood tests or urine tests to request of doctor to check it all out please share that as well

thanks, would love to hear if anyone else has had this, thanks
