My honest opinion is that you shouldn't postpone going to the doctor and getting that biopsy, however painful it might be. It is quite possible that you have cancer.  Lymph node involvement is a bad sign; so is weight loss, loss of balance, throwing up for no reason. If you won't  have it checked out, at least go to the ER and they'll give you something for the pain.
