Brief Answer:
Can be thrombophlebitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
Noted your history of surgery 5 days ago.
You have got of all of a sudden pain in the elbow at the place where the blood was taken.

Such an occurrence usually indicates that there is thrombophelbitis (inflammation) of the vein.

Please give me additional information for me to assist you better:
Is there any swelling or a cord-like structure that you can see or palpate and roll under the finger with some tenderness?
Any other symptoms that you have?
What surgery was done?

I hope this answers your query, please feel free to give additional information and ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
