Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Your current symptoms are most likely not related to the fall.
Tail bone injury is not associated with any symptoms in penis such as reduced erection or sensation.
However, if there is injury to the lumbar and sacral nerves which are located slightly above, then these symptoms could occur. Along with penis symptoms, one would expect additional symptoms such as shooting pain in the thighs or legs, numbness or weakness in the legs, etc. In the absence of these additional symptoms, your tail bone injury and penis symptoms may not be connected.
So, I would suggest you to wait and watch, and if symptoms do not improve or progress, then, you can see a doctor.
I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
