Chronic interior medial shin splint

Question
I'm 30 years old and have always been fairly active. About 2 years ago I began running daily and trained for a 1/2 marathon. I completed the 1/2 marathon without any issue. During training, I never experienced any leg cramps, lumps, pains or problems.
Then suddenly, several weeks after the 1/2 marathon, my calf muscles would begin to cramp 2 miles into a run. The distance was around 4 - 5 miles several times per week. Once I stopped to stretch everything would be fine again and I could continue with my run. Several weeks after that, I began to have lumps and pain in the interior shins and continued to ignore this and exercise. The pain got so bad that my shins would ache when resting.
I saw my doctor who did an x-ray to check for stress fractures and diagnosed me with interior medial shin splints. I've worked with a physical therapist for 2 separate 8 week sessions to the leg cramping and shin pain. He's evaluated my gait, shoes and flexibility. He recommended an increased stretching regimine, which I've done regularly with not real improvement (in flexibility or shin relief).
The only relief is when I'm inactive. I took 8 weeks off from all exercise and the calf cramps, shin lumps and pain diminished. However, as soon as I began to run again (short distances) my calves will suddenly cramp and the interior shin lumps/pain follow.
My shins also will be slightly sore after exercises such as the elliptical(my legs don't cramp during these exercises). The cramping, shin lump and pain gets progressively worse during and after a run.

This has gone on for 2 years now and I'm desperate to find a cure. I love running and really miss it.
I appreciate any help and advice you have to offer.
