If the fragments are indeed metal I think a pistol mishap 30 years ago may have been the culprit. I was target practicing with my grandfathers 22 pistol, squeezed the trigger and nothing happened, squeezed harder and the barrel half rotated and fired. Metal pieces went into the opposite hand causing it to bleed. I remember being panicked but it didn't hurt so I just forgot about it. It was a long time ago and I was only 16. That's my only theory but it seems like metal in my hand would have been an issue during an MRI.
