Carpal tunnel: No, the most common symptoms are : numbness and tingling, awakening at night, numbness when driving, dropping of objects, pain associated with numbness that can spread up the arm, and in rare cases cramping of the thumb (thenar) muscles. Pain with movement suggests something else such as arthritis, tendinitis, etc.

No: Symptoms from carpal tunnel syndrome include numbness, tingling, and pain. Symptoms usually occur during the night or in the morning but can happen during routine activities such as driving, reading, etc. The symptoms you describe are more consistent with tendonitis or arthritis. See your primary care doctor or hand specialist for an evaluation.
