Other than your current weekly mileage, what other information can you provide?

Do you do core strengthening work? Massages regularly (to bring attention to problem areas)? How is your form (not foot strike but where is your foot when it lands)? How long did you build your mileage to what it currently is? Did you follow the 10% rule? Do you change your chose regularly? Are all your runs the same pace pace/effort? Do you do track-work? Tempo runs? Long slow runs?

It sounds to many people (myself included) you are new to the sport and took on too much too fast, in which case rest and education might be your best course of action, but without other details it is really hard to say.

if you're going to be hard headed and remove rest as a possible solution, then just keep doing what you're doing until you hit a point than you can't run anymore, then see what "rest" is really like when you can't run for months.
