Sounds like you're in a rough spot no matter what. In the end, it's gonna be up to you based on your time and money situation.
As for the pain, acetaminophen (Tylenol) is highly under-utilized and under-dosed for pain. As long as you have normal liver function, you can take 1g three times a day with little consequence. Even for major surgeries, some people are fine with 800mg ibuprofen and 1g of acetaminophen every 8 hours. I usually recommend 8am, 3pm, and 10pm.
Good luck!
