Yes: From your symptom description, I would say yes... the pain may be due to a nerve root compression from cervical radiculopathy and possibly not actually Carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel, often affects the thumb, index and middle finger, but may travel up the arm as well. It's also possible to have both. I would consult a neurologist. They may guide you as to where the nerve is compressed.
