Unfortunately the only way to heal a stress fracture is with rest. You could probably make it through the rest of your track season with pain medications but it will not heal and the pain won’t go away until you rest for a couple of months. If you want to continue track, you would get the biggest benefit on both the stress fractures and the shin splints if you quit the distance running, they are the hardest on your legs and feet.

it it hurts, you need to rest - think long term - when you are healed, you can run again…
