The answer really boils down to: what are you looking to get out of this injury, story-wise? Are you down to RP out a slow recovery and life-long trauma, or do you want that just-fixed band-aid? There's a lot of room to consider both physical and psychological consequences (something most people don't think about -- a person relying on their body to make a living IS going to be devastated and shocked by a potentially crippling injury).
Neither are actually "bad" or right, this is a high-magic fantasy setting. There are good suggestions for how to approach this already! Just remember that you aren't locked into one possibility, and RP is not "serious" writing, we need to offer wiggle room for future plots and not every injury needs to lead to massive character development or take your character out of commission.
Talk to the healer, too! Writing healers is often a thankless job, support your support class and communicate about how they imagine the injury developing and recovering.
