You havn't told about any recent history of heavy work or heavy weight lifting or something done bending forward. Any how most of the times it is due to Muscle Stifffness of paraspinal muscles. Take rest and take NSAID with Muscle relaxant like Chlorzoxazone 500mg. Twice a day. Tab Myospaz Forte 1 BD. its having some sedative effect so avaid driving. take for 3 days and you will be OK.

Brief Answer:
Due to compression of nerve root

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have studied your case.

Due to compression of nerve root there is pain in your hip to tail bone.

I will advise you to do MRI spine and if required MRI hip.
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

You have developed amphetamine [adderal] dependence; you need to consult your doctor to get rid of dependence.

Many of my patients get relief by yoga pranayama and XXXXXXX XXXXXXX so you can also due that.
For reducing smoking
There are medicines available which reduce the craving for nicotine and make it easier to quit. These are started before quitting and after these become effective, a quit-date is set. On the pre-appointed date, you quit. Because of the medicine's effect, it is easier to remain abstinent. After you have been abstinent for a few months, the medicines are stopped.

You can opt to stop smoking and use other forms of nicotine replacement when you are unable to control the craving. Nicotine containing chewing gums are available for this purpose. After a few days, you can reduce the number of chewing gums that you are taking per day and gradually taper it off. These save you from the harmful effects of smoke, but are still not harmless as they contain nicotine.

Brief Answer:
Lung cancer increases many fold in smokers.

Detailed Answer:
Hello again

I already mentioned probable reasons of pain,
Adderal medicine is not reason for pain.

Possibility of lung cancer increases many fold in smokers than non smoker.

Other side effects of adderal include
Nervousness, restlessness, excitability, dizziness, headache, fear, anxiety, and tremor. Blood pressure and heart rate may increase, and you may experience palpitations of the heart. Adderal is habit forming and chronic use may lead to dependence.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
