Hello
Thanks for query

You didn't mentioned your husband's age. Chronic waist pain and weak erection may be due to nerve injury. Nerve may be injured in lumbar disc prolapse or it may be due to trauma also. Nerve status is easily visualised in MRI of lumbar spine.
It can exclude the condition of lumbar disc prolapse and it can also shows weather nerve is compressed or not. Bony vertebra status and spinal cord is also visualised in MRI .
so, first he should go for MRI scan of lumbar spine.
other causes should be definitely sought for.

Take care
