I've never heard anyone else mention a strong urine odor from pain medicine, but I don't know for sure whether they could be related or not. I'd suggest you ask your pharmacist.
A strong urine odor can be caused by other things like dehydration or a urinary tract infection. It would probably be a good idea to ask your doctor to test your urine to make sure you don't have an infection. You might also try drinking a lot more water if you think dehydration could be the problem.
