Unfortunately, no pain relief from my Adderall, at least so far. I took it just before a rare walk, and when it kicked in, walking was effortless but the pain was still 100% present. I was in agony by the time the walk was done (as per usual), but instead of my leg dragging behind like a reluctant dog, I was spry in my pain. Very curious experience.
Pain relief from stimulants for me comes from the fact that I'm not thinking about the pain as much anymore (kind of how weed helps my pain too. Just allows me to focus elsewhere)
