According to the symptoms you report (isolated pain in the forearm) you probably are not experiencing thrombophlebitis because other symptoms like redness, swelling and local temperature are not present. Pain in the arm could be due to other reasons such as nerve or muscle affection especially when provoked by wrist movement. You can visit your GP for a complete examination and precise diagnosis.
