I recently had an X-ray of my coccyx and it was noted that a surgical clip was visible in my left pelvis. I had a tummy tuck about 7 months ago so I’m sure it was from this. 1) is this harmful to remain in? 2) will this prevent me from having future MRIs? I have a condition and have to undergo them periodically. Thank you
