What does it mean when the vein on your wrist hurts every time you tap it? it happened after i yanked my arm.

Not the vein: It is probably not the vein but a tendon or muscle that is causing the pain. Because of the close proximity of the structures, it would be difficult to tell the difference without an exam..
