Just recently my urine has started smelling very sweet. I also have chrinic joint pains. too busy to worry too much about it so haven t yet seen my GP. any ideas please ?
His sir, Your complaints are suggestive of diabetes. Regarding your joint pain as not mentioned I guess it might BR knees. Of which you might have osteoarthritis. Kindly visit a physician where he will ask you for blood investigation and will advise you after reports are ready. Regarding joint pain you need to consult orthopaedician and may require X-ray evaluation and treatment will be advice on the basis of investigations.
