Your pea-sized clots are actually a phenomenon called trapped blood. They occur when blood is trapped in a partially closed vein. The result is a darkened, pea spot that is often tender because the retained blood causes localized inflammation. The reason you got all these spots is because your spider veins were not treated correctly. Your doc did not treat what is feeding into them first. Unfortunately, this means that your doc probably is not that well versed in vein treatments. A well trained sclerotherapist tends to get very little of this trapped blood. To get rid of them, the doc need to aspirate them out and retreat.
