Not usually, you can sometimes get "retrograde" symptoms that go up the forearm from the wrist from CTS.

This ulnar nerve passes through the elbow joint and can give you symptoms at the elbow and DOWN the forearm into the hand(4th and 5th fingers) where as CTS effects the first 2-3 fingers typically.
