Not exactly.There is a long nerve(median nerve) that exits out of your neck bones(vertebrae),travels through your shoulder,upper and lower arm,through your wrist area (called the carpal tunnel) and branches out into your thumb,and first 3 fingers.
If you have some type of neck injury..say a ruptured disc at the location where this nerve originates,then you can have symptoms that mimic carpal tunnel syndrome(CTS).
True CTS is from prolonged pressure/inflammation on the median nerve at the carpal tunnel area in your wrist .
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a collection of characteristic symptoms and signs that occurs following entrapment of the median nerve within the carpal tunnel. Usual symptoms include numbness, paresthesias, and pain in the median nerve distribution. These symptoms may or may not be accompanied by objective changes in sensation and strength of median-innervated structures in the hand. Given that carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is associated with low aerobic fitness (and increased BMI), it makes inherent sense to provide the patient with an aerobic fitness program.
No I never have heard of this, CTS has to due with compression on the median nerve in the wrist. You can have a neck injury or disc problem in the neck that can mimic carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms in the arm and hand..ie like a pinched nerve.

Carpel tunnel syndrome is a condition that is caused by repeated actions over a period of time to the same part of the body, usually the hands and wrists. While it is possible that a car accident could weaken an area and make carpal tunnel more likely in the future, it is unlikely that the accident itself would cause the condition.
