constant menstrual like cramps but no period

Hello,
I am 25 years old and I had a tubal done in 2005 following the birth of my youngest child.My tubes were just cut and tied.My question is for the last 3 months 1 week prior to my period I cramp my legs and hips ache and I run a fever.This month I have cramps and leg and hip aches but I am also having mood swings happy one minute the next crying for no reason.I am Very tired and craving sweets.I also get a VERY severe pain in my right side from about my waist line into my hip across to where my right ovary would sit.I have had ultrasounds that only shows my uterine lining is alittle thicker than it should be.My periods last for 7 days and are very heavy 5 days and light and spotty the last 2.Any advice I can get would be great!
