    Hi Melanie

    I looked at this via the internet & found that it says o they dont - but dont act on this -it important you ask your doctor for the correct & most accurate answer

    So my advice to you is ask your GP

      Hi Sarajo, thanks for replying. Had cataract op last Tuesday, headaches still continuing. Also had two knee replacements last year and was on codeine for about a year, have been weaning off for about four months. Am still getting the withdrawal symptoms - restless legs, lack of energy and these headaches, but only stopped codeine completely about a week ago, so I guess I need to give it a bit longer before going back to the G P. Last time she said it is probably a tension headache, perhaps it is. Take care, Melanie
