Metal Clip left in large intestine CT and MRI

A metal clip left during a colonoscopy in large intestine.  Started feeling worse took CT which showed a metallic structure.  It was ignored and Dr. still let me go into a MRI.  I am 5’1 and 98 pounds and I looked like I was pregnant with 4.  Lasted for about a week.   Has anyone had side effects.  I have had so many.  And still do.  But the doctor had been stating otherwise until I started looking things up and I am the one that found it.  He finally admitted 2 weeks ago.  I haven't done a thing.  I have been so sick. Hair loss, 21 times bathroom. depression, Migraine, bumps on Skin, Harder to see and Hear.  Nerve in face hurts, not sexually active, stomach hurts so much, arthritis. hot flashes, stomach has weird tingle sensation that wakes me up in the morning. fingers, toes and heels tingle or go numb, tired bruising, emotional, fingernails are splitting, stool is always changing, fistulas, hemorrhoids, fissures. HOMEBOUND.

See another doctor. Or go to the ER. A systemic infection can be dangerous and will cause most, if not all, of the symptoms described.

I've never heard of clips being used during a colonoscopy.  Did you have a polyp removed?  Even then they don't use clips that I've ever heard of.  I've transcribed thousands of colonoscopies.  I don't understand.  You sound very sick, like I was when it turned out I had Celiac disease.  Did you have anything besides a colonoscopy?
