If it's a cramp caused by overusing a muscle, continuing to use that same muscle will double, triple or even quadruple the pain you are feeling. You really have to consider the situation if you plan on powering through. The area around my metacarpophalangeal thumb joint is currently swollen red and hurts whenever I move it. I had to draw 3 drawings for tomorrow where each one took over 3 hours to complete.

It doesn't matter what kind intense activity you plan on doing, you should probably stretch the muscles that will be involved ahead of time. Otherwise you run the risk of painful cramps or muscle soreness on the following day.

Cramps are only temporary and can last up to ten minutes. Afterwards you will still feel pain where the cramp was, but not nearly as severe.
