Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Erection of penis is due to the stimulation of parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems. This is usually affected in case of lower back injury. It is important to know if you had any injury to the lower end of spinal cord and that must be investigated in detail. Even certain areas of the brain those which are concerned with emotions and cognitive behavior need to be assessed. Please have a detailed discussion with a neurologist. Your condition is most likely treatable.
