Hello,
Please do not worry if you dont do alcohol. But at the same time codeine also is not to be taken except under medical advise. I suggest you see your doctor again with your complete facts. He can always correct the alcohol abuse error and at the same time guide you on your dislocating joints problem.
Truth always wins!
