Yes: Carpal tunnel surgery releases a band of tissue in the wrist that retains finger flexors and the median nerve. Once released and sufficent time has passed (often requiring pt or occupational ) normal activities may be resumed. The timing of which depends on the amount of inflammation and your surgeons advice.

Yes: I would recommend that you wait until the tenderness of the incision is gone. This can take a variable amount of time (4-8 weeks).
