Hello
Thanks for your query ,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you are facing problem of Erectile Dysfunction since very recently.
I shall be happy if you can post me few more details to help me in making comments on your problem.
1) Are you Diabetic?
It is unlikely that your problem of ED is related to injury that you sustaine during intercourse many years ago .
It is mostly due to age related factors
1)Atherosclerotic changes in arteries that supply blood to erectile tissue in penis .
2) Low level of Testosterone in blood
Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Serum Testosterone levels in blood
2) Color Doppler Ultrasound Scanning of Penis to rule out any vasculogenic cause like arterial insufficiency or venous leak as a cause of your ED.
Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis

Taking a drug Sidenafil (Viagra)or Cialis as on demand will help you to achieve hard erection .
Get the prescription and guidance regarding dose schedule from your family Physician .
Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.
