fight through

Overcome despite difficulty

Fight through means to persist despite difficulty or resistance until reaching completion or success.

You fight through pain, fatigue, or obstacles that would otherwise stop you: She fought through the injury to finish the race.

The phrase suggests determined effort against something that actively impedes progress: He fought through the crowd to reach the exit, I had to fight through a lot of bureaucracy to get the permit approved.
