... think d-oboe's hit on it, use softer, more responsive reeds as if starting over from scratch and work your way up reed strengths gradually, after 7 years away, a mid-life adult's body just isn't the same as you used to be, you have to recondition it again
... all that lovely music beckons and motivates you to press on, but it won't sound o'beautiful if you're in pain, so focus instead on producing only your most beautiful notes for today and when they deteriorate, stop, rest 24 hours, try to extend to a few bars more of beautiful notes tomorrow
... in the meantime, you could do 2 hours of silent fingering exercises and silently playing through your fave pieces
... geez, that's funny, fingers don't seem to work quite the way you remember they did either ...
