Your pain seems to be coming from impact exercises - this is why squats and other exercises do not aggravate the injury. This could be due to any combination of the following: lack of recovery, not replacing shoes when they are getting worn (or poorly fitting shoes to begin with), poor running form and chronic/old injuries and/or abuse.
Motrin, physical therapy and appropriate rest/recovery are needed. You may want to try and find a physical therapist or athleitc trainer who cann assess your running form and provide corrective feedback.
With an injury such as yours, time is needed for recovery - I know iti s frustrating, but muscling through will more than likely lead to further/chronic injury.
If you have not gotten your running shoes from a place where the staff are knowledgeable in helping find properly fitting shoes I would also do this once you have sufficiently recovered and are getting back into running - this has been covered elsewhere on the site.
Are there any physical therapists with experience with similar issues willing to chime in?
