Legendary multisport icon and father of three, Bo Jackson, has been grappling with a perplexing issue for almost a year now: chronic hiccups. As a dedicated parent, Jackson is determined to overcome this challenge not just for himself, but also for his family. During an appearance on "McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning" on WJOX-FM, Jackson divulged his ongoing struggle, discussing the various approaches he has taken to find relief. Despite trying both traditional remedies and more unusual methods, the hiccups persist for the former NFL Pro Bowler and MLB All-Star.

Jackson shared that he has been dealing with the hiccups since July 2022, and the condition has affected his attendance at important events, like fellow Auburn legend Frank Thomas' statue dedication at Plainsman Park in April. He explained that he wasn't there because he was too preoccupied dealing with doctors who were trying to determine the cause of his chronic hiccups.

The doctors have yet to pinpoint the reason behind Jackson's condition. He has tried numerous remedies, ranging from conventional tactics like drinking water and getting scared to more unorthodox methods, such as smelling a porcupine's backside. Unfortunately, none of these techniques have worked for him.

‍
This week, Jackson will undergo a medical procedure in hopes of putting an end to his chronic hiccups. It remains to be seen what this procedure entails and how it will address the issue. Still, the legendary athlete is desperate for a solution, not just for his own well-being, but for the sake of his children as well.

Bo Jackson, known for his incredible athleticism and prowess in both football and baseball, is remembered as one of the most remarkable athletes to ever play in the NFL and MLB. He spent nine seasons in the MLB with the Kansas City Royals, Chicago White Sox, and California Angels, and four seasons in the NFL with the Los Angeles Raiders.

‍
While the causes of hiccups can often be unclear, they typically resolve within a few minutes. However, chronic cases like Jackson's can be a genuine ordeal, with potential triggers varying widely. The procedure Jackson will undergo is a crucial step in his journey towards relief, and fans of the legendary athlete undoubtedly hope for a successful outcome. In overcoming this challenge, Jackson will also set an example for his children and other parents, demonstrating the importance of perseverance and self-care.
