Yes: This is very common after carpal tunnel surgery, especially is you had an endoscopic procedure. I usually warn my patients that this will happen. It has never been a problem, and will go away in 7-10 days after the surgery. If pain worsens, call your doctor.

Yes: Bruising in the hand can occur after a carpal tunnel release. Keep an eye on it but it should resolve with time.
