Your L5 nerve goes into your big toe, could be related to your disc. Numbness should always be evaluated by a doctor IMHO.
If your motor tests are ok on the big toe (strength etc) then maybe it is less concerning but should still be evaluated. It could be nerve irritation caused by inflammation from disc injury that might subside over time.
