if they sent you both copies and you signed neither they are fucked
the worst they can do is not pay you

the best you can do is self certificate ie phone in sick. they will have to pay you three days pay from the day you call (prior to 9.30 am usually)

if however you have grounds to suggest the position is not as they described you can try and insist on a months pay for breach of contract on threat of legal action - you have a written contract(s) this will naturally involve lawyers but if they have a reputation to protect you may well find they will simply pay up in exchange for a letter of 'no compromise' this basically means you will drop all further action and assure their confidetiality

in short - you hold the cards

they
dont have to pay you for the sick days, they may have a policy of not paying for 'probationers'.

Just dont go in. Dont look back.
