Phlebitis

Hi all. Around this time last year I got a dvt in my thigh/ groin and wear my compression stocking religiously. Recently my "good leg" as I call it has been sore, red and tender to touch. I went to my gp today who diagnosed Phlebitis and I'm now being advised to wear a stocking on that leg as well. My gp wasn't too helpful with her info on what exactly Phlebitis is and every website I look on seems to give a different description of it. Does anyone know what this is and if it can cause a dvt? Any info would be greatly appreciated x
