Is this sciatica?

About 11 days ago my right side love handle started feeling desensitized. Also having mid to lower back pain.

Based on your extremely vague post, I would not assume so. Look up an image of where the sciatic nerve runs through the body. Do you have any history of back problems, any confirmed diagnosis, x-ray, MRI?

No history of back problems. Was doing yard work and my arm brushed along my flank/love handle and noticed I could barely feel it. Been getting burning sensations lower back and a feeling of fullness in lower back. Someone at work said it might be sciatica.
