i tried to power through shin splints and it gave me fucking exertional compartment syndrome, now i have trouble running more than 10 minutes at a time

You don't power through shin splints, that'll just fuck you up worse. If your leg starts to hurt, stop running and rest otherwise you'll end up like >>41236044

You have to build up your ability to run faster and farther little by little.

As others have said, do not push through the pain. Take it easy, wear good shoes with proper support, and try not to run on hard surfaces like concrete when you can help it. Shin splints suck a bag of dicks, I feel for you.

I tried to push through it earlier in my life and now I literally can't run or do any high impact things.

I'm only running a mile & a half 3 times a week, would slowing down help?

Or do I have to cut distance?

Also rucking 3 times a week (3miles in an hour with a 30lbs pack)

Slow your pace, avoid running on hard surfaces if at all possible, warm your legs up with a good walk and some stretching before you start running, and make sure you've got suitable shoes

Slowing down may help, depending on the severity of the pain you're feeling. If it's tolerable, I suggest cutting your distance down a bit, and wrapping your ankles before you go running, as well as icing them occasionally. Once the pain goes away you can then gradually increase the distance/rate you're running.

If it's really bad, stop running altogether for a while. It's shitty, and you'll lose some progress, but it's a lot better than seriously injuring yourself by trying to muscle through it.

It's very tolerable maybe like a 2.5-3. I had them once before when I ran XC, they got so bad I had to stop running so they'd go away trying to make sure they don't get that bad again.

Am I the only one who pushed through the pain?

Doctor told me they take 6 months-ish to heal. Ran every day and they were gone within two weeks.
