Thrombophlebitis: It is not uncommon for this to occur. The vein has been punctured and can result in local irritation. Warm compresses to that area as well as aspirin, or other non-steroidal anti inflammatory, may help. These may, however, cause stomach upset, particularly on an empty stomach, or increase risk for bleeding. Best to consult your doctor.
