No: Carpal tunnel syndrome can cause pain up the arm but pain that originates there is usually from another problem such as a muscle strain, tendonitis or arthritis. See your physician to have it evaluated.

Tingling: Pain, numbness, tingling, weakness and night pain are the most common symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. It is due to a pinched median nerve in the wrist.
