Default lidocaine infusion coming up

i have my first lidocaine infusion in 2 days. i have glanced over a few older threads but was hoping that those who have had them would comment again please.

my doc hopes to get more than 2 weeks of lesser pain and if so i can get more. how long did they last for you?

my doc hopes that it also helps my low back pain that is not crps2. did any of you get relief of back pain too?

how long did your infusion take to complete(the procedure)? one hour, 2 hours, 3 hours? how long did it take for you to feel normal to go home after the procedure?

i am going to get versed to relax before they start and either take phenergan 25mg before i get there or get zofran for naseau while there. did any of you get any other med(other than the lidocain) either pill form or put directly into the IV during the infusion? or after infusion?

thanks for any info
