Default Lidocaine Infusion (I'm afraid)

Any opinions on this?
2 wks. ago at last consult my P.M. Dr. is pretty sure the CRPS/RSD is spreading to my left foot. Of course I've suspected it but have been in partial denial.
So, she ordered a lidocaine infusion (IV) done in hospital but outpatient.

Well, as with most things with this disease I had never heard of this before and did not know what to ask, she was in a hurry, she was training a new assistant etc. etc.....
I figured she thought it would deter the spread but now from what I've read it seems like just another temporary (few hours) pain reliever and it may be diagnostic as well? Can have dangerous side effects that's why in hospital. She rattled that off in a hurry like a drug commercial.

Now, I have questions and I'm scheduled to go in for this on Thursday.
Love & Hugs to you all!
