Having lower back pain on the left side of my back near my hip there a exact spot where there feels like a lump is there, could it be my sciatic nerve?

Usually not: Sciatic nerve comes out lower. But you definitely could be out of alignment. You may consider a highly skilled osteopathic physician, who has the medical training of an md and additional musculoskeletal training for an evaluation and treatment.

No: Definitely not indicative of sciatic nerve issues. Could be s-i joint related. Lump is probably a lipoma. Soft tissue strain, facet joint issues also a possibility.
