Try going online through the Social Security Administration's website and setting up an account. They have a service through which you can order a replacement card online.
I went through this recently, as I had lost my SS card and birth certificate, and my driver's license was expired. I was able to order a new birth certificate online, but you already have that, so that's not the problem. Go to the SSA's website and try to set up an account: https://www.ssa.gov/ssnumber/.
If it allows you to set one up, you can order a new SS card through it. I had mine within three days once it allowed me to set up the account. My problem was it kept giving me an error message when I tried to set up an account, but I kept trying until it finally accepted it.
Give it a try. I didn't have the necessary paperwork to go into a Social Security office and get a new SS card, but the SSA was somehow able to verify me online, after which I was able to get my state ID (though not for PA, as I live out of state now, but the SSA is national).

Good luck.
