Shin splints are not healing?

I'm athletic and this is my first year of track. I don't run on concrete or asphalt just the track and gr. my shoes are around 3 or 4 months i have had shin splints for around 3 months more or less. I have ran through the pain until it hurt. I have gone to a doctor 5 weeks ago and he said to stay off of it for a week. I have been off of it for around 4 weeks before he told me and 3 after he told me and i still feel the pain. i have been icing it with ice in dixie cups and took double doses of ibuprofen for 1 or 2 weeks. It hasn't made it feel better. I have already bought compression socks and some insoles to help it feel better. The compression socks kind of ease the pain but not a lot. around 7 weeks ago i tried to run on it and only jogged 2 laps around the track until it started to hurt and then stopped for the day. Today i sprinted five feet and my left shin hurt bad (i was running on gr). I feel the pain in both legs. These "shin splints" are really pissing me off and i'm just about to run through this severe pain until i get a stress fracture (i really don't care anymore!).
