Hello aweaver,
Thanks for posting your query
Your veins over wrist are tender to touch, so you might having thrombophlebitis.
Recently you had surgery on your left ankle (arthroscopy), So this thrombophlebitis might be due to canula placed in your wrist vein.
So you have to visit the surgeon for exam & treatment acc. to that.
Regards.
