I've been playing my flute almost constantly the last few days in preparation for my school musical and I've started getting cramps in my hand and into my wrist. Any suggestions on some stretches to relieve the muscles?

My friend is a very good flute player and gets this problem often, I have seen her with a wrist brace on, so maybe consider getting one of those. Here are some stretches you can do http://www.express.co.uk/life-style/health/450311/Loosen-wrists-and-relieve-joint-pain-with-these-easy-stretches. And make sure you don't over work your hand/wrist or you could get arthritis or carpal tunnel so be careful.
