The pain when standing can come from a pinched Hoffa's fat pad (IFP), wich is rather common in AF. However, among other causes are varicose veins, which appear as large, lumpy and blue veins. These are not specifically related to AF or scar tissue, and are very common. If that sounds right I suggest that you ask your doctor about treatments.
It would be a good idea to ask your doctor about this. It's quite possible that if you have a blood flow problem it could contribute to AF. I'm not aware of AF causing varicose veins, if that is what you have, but I wouldn’t rule it out, either.
