Likely unrelated: Likely unrelated to the carpal tunnel. The more common issue with bending of fingers that can come on out of the blue is flexor tendonitis, more commonly known as trigger finger. Often this is self limiting, but occasionally OTC medications such as Advil (ibuprofen) and Alleve may help, assuming it's ok for you to take those (check with your doctor). If not, get it checked out, usually easy to treat.
