I feel your pain! Two months before taking a diploma recital I lost a finger! Luckily it was reattached, two years of therapy later and I could start playing again, now seven years after that and I'm roughly the standard I was, maybe a little better. I would encourage being much more gentle with yourself than you would want to, all the muscle memory is still there but you'll have to build your strength up and get used to maybe compensating for that little pinky that keeps wandering!
For the pain, that's a clarinettists nightmare, I've been developing arthritis for a few years, keeping it at bay with playing to exercise. I suggest breaks during practice sessions plus long hot baths to help your whole body relax (hands aren't the only thing doing the work!).
