(NSFW) Period question?

Asked by Vision (17points) November 15th, 2012 from iPhone

I am 17 years old, and I have had my period since I was around 12 years old. It is on a normal 28 day schedule, and rarely ever late (early every few months, however)
Up until roughly around 5 months ago, I haven’t had a lot of problems with period cramps. On average I got one cramp every time I had my period, but it went away quickly, and was never very severe.
Around five months ago I started having terrible cramps, to the point where all I would do for three to five days was lay in bed, or take hot showers. I’d guess that over the last five months I’ve taken more pain medicine than I have throughout the entire span of my life before that.
Could there be something wrong? I am unsure if this is normal or not. Should I mention it to my mother, and set up a doctors appointment?
