It really depends on how bad your carpal tunnel syndrome is--I'd recommend talking to your doctor to see how severe your case is. It can permanently cause damage to the median nerve.

If the doctor gives a go-ahead, wear good wrist supports/strapping and ensure you have ice/ice packs ready to ice your wrists afterwards for 20 minutes . Also, be moderate with your weight lifting.

I found my carpal tunnel went away with stretching, ice, NSAIDs and also giving up the job (kitchen hand) that was causing it, but you might not be so lucky. My case wasn't that severe.
