Hi. It could be a thrombosed vein that you are feeling. Do you have any swelling in your forearm or hand? I suggest you consult your Doctor who can examine you and advice accordingly. You might require a Doppler study or Ultrasound to know what exactly it is. Do let me know the report if the investigation is done. You can consult me directly by leaving a Direct or Specialist query. Take care.
