    I can’t imagine how the guy with hiccups for 68 years must have felt. In the days following my massive stroke I had continual hiccups for about 36 hours and it was downright painful after the first couple of hours. The nurses told me I didn’t even stop while sleeping and it’s not uncommon following a brain injury to have persistent hiccups.

      After a few months of constant hiccups I'd probably have to end myself, that would be miserable

      Constant hiccups can also be a sign of liver problems or injury to the diaphragm.

    When you have Perea, an infection in your jaw bone that moves up into your teeth, despite being healthy on the outside the teeth rot and fill with infection fluid from the inside out causing a lot of pressure build up. I’ve person dealt with the worst smelling pus squiring out of a hole in my tooth when I pushed on my chin. I had to remove all of my teeth at 26 and now I have beautiful dentures, they look real and perfect, and NO PAIN.

      I've had a lot of dental abscesses. While that hurts like mad, I had one abscess that was so painful I was screaming in pain day and night and collapsing on the floor - and I'm used to pain, had to have a hysterectomy at a very young age - they don't perform that procedure for fun on young women! The dentist had to remove the tooth nerve and when he was taking it out, the smell from the infection filled the entire room. It was a smell of decay and rotting trash! Now I'm having to have my last three remaining teeth taken out as they are infected too, then I'll have no teeth of my own left.

      I'm with you on that one, also having given birth. Would gladly do it again, if given the choice between labor and childbirth over tooth pain. I've had teeth that have gone bad and also dealt with 'dry socket' after the extraction of one of them. MY GAWD, I was literally shaking and so weak I could barely function because of the pain. Plus I've had tooth pain so horrible that I seriously considered grabbing a pair of pliers and yanking the tooth out myself before I was able to get to my dental appointment.
      Yeah. Give me childbirth over that any day.

    The "exploding" teeth thing was very probably from excessive infection.
    Teeth have been known to crack without external pressure from infection so i can see how this could be possible in extreme cases.

    When doctors say they can't do anything, that's when people go for self medication. I have been told twice, once about IBS, which doctors said "not IBS", and then later a cluster headache. All reports were clean. They said nothing could be causing any of that. Self medication helps sometimes, because the patient has more experience than any doctor.

    The exploding teeth thing has happened since. I know because I have, or had, it. It would happen at night. I would wake up to what sounded like a fire cracker going off in my head and about a hundred pieces of what used to be a tooth in my mouth. It would also happen while chewing normal food. Over the course of about ten years all but 7 of my teeth have gone out this way. Funny thing is there was never any pain what so ever.

    There was a soldier during world war II had parachuted into Germany and suffered whiplash to the point that he almost could have died from a broken neck. Fortunately he was captured by the Nazis who kept him in a cell that pretty much made him only able to lay down for 6 weeks which was adequate enough time for him to heal. It wasn't until like in 2008 where he was in a car accident where they discovered he had a previous break in his neck that the truth finally came out that he did have a broken neck back in world war II.
