I had coronary stents put in october of 2014. can coronary stents cause pain for an amount of time? the pain i have is sharp pains.

Not likely: The pain you are having seems very atypical and given that the stents were placed almost one year ago is unlikely related to the procedure. However, if your symptoms are similar to your prior angina symptoms (if you had angina) then I would pursue an imaging stress test with your Cardiologist.
