I Had Very Bad Sciatic Pain That Started On July

I had very bad sciatic pain that started on July 15, 2018. The pain completely stopped at 4am on 7-16-18. I went to go to the bathroom and my left leg was paralyzed. I was admitted to a hospital on 7-16,18. I had an MRI. I had a multi level two level discectomy/laminectomy on 7-17-18. The surgery occurred at L4-5 and L5-S1. In the past I've had a fusion at L3-4, discectomy/laminectomy at L5-S1 and a fusion/discectomy at C4-C7. I have burning and numbness from my right knee to my toes. I cannot move my leg from a prone position. Is this going to be permanent? I am 64 yoa but very active.
