Unfortunately, I cannot give specific medical advice, as that requires the expertise of a medical professional familiar with your individual situation. However, I can share some general information about carpal tunnel surgery and stitches that might be helpful:

Typically, doctors recommend keeping your stitches dry for 10-14 days after carpal tunnel surgery. This allows the incision time to heal and reduces the risk of infection. However, specific instructions may vary depending on your doctor's preferences and the type of stitches used.
Here are some tips to help you understand when you can get your stitches wet:
- Follow your doctor's specific instructions. They will provide you with detailed post-operative care instructions, including how to care for your incision and stitches.
- Ask your doctor when it is safe to get your stitches wet. This is the best way to get accurate and personalized information.
- Look for signs of healing. Once the incision is closed and there is no drainage, it is generally safe to get your stitches wet. However, always wait for your doctor's confirmation.
