Very dark urine?

Hi, I’m 16 and recently had a dirt bike accident where I broke my leg pretty badly. I underwent surgery, and the pain has been intense, so I’ve been prescribed Oxycodone for pain relief and Valium as a muscle relaxer to manage spasms. However, I’ve noticed that each time I urinate, the color seems to get darker. Right now, it’s a deep blood-orange shade, almost like iced tea. This has started to concern me. I plan to call the hospital to get it checked out, but before I do, I wanted to ask if anyone else has experienced something similar or knows what might be causing this.

Call your doctor IMMEDIATELY –

what you describe can be a symptom of something very serious.

Dark urine can mean a liver or kidney injury, or internal bleeding, or damage from the medications.

Get someone to take you to the hospital- they’re going to want you to be seen.

It could be an effect of the medication you are on, although having dark urine can also mean that you are dehydrated and need to drink more.
