A member asked:

Urine smells like feces and i'm also and pain in abdomen and flank areas. should this be cause for concern?

Sure: You may have a significant urinary tract infection. You could even have a fistula between your bowel and your bladder. It's worth seeing a medical professional for an exam, urinalysis, and evaluation. In the meantime, stay well hydrated, but don't delay.
