Kobayashi attributes “jawthritis” to bruxism

November 16, 2007 at 1:31 pm by ojrifkin · More posts about:Kobayashi (小林尊)

In his latest blog entry, Kobayashi announces that he is suffering from bruxism, or nighttime teeth grinding, which he thinks is aggravating the arthritis in his jaw.

He has also added an English translation of his previous blog entry about his weight loss.

    They sell teeth grinding guards you can wear at during sleep for 20 bucks at Walmart. I hope Kobayashi wears one from now on!! Everyone wants to see him back at 100 percent

    I have to wear a little device that inserts in my two front teeth at night to avoid grinding while I’m asleep. It was ridiculously expensive for a little piece of plastic, but worth not messing up my teeth or getting any chronic pain. Plus the ladies love it.

    I have tmj for 20 yrs now , it never stoped me in a competion. I guess its his way of saving face when he can’t beat the new competion anymore, I’ve competed and defended my matzah ball title with 103 fever and infleenza and lost , I had an obligation to the sponser the press and most of all the fans …don lerman

    Lerman 103 fever is a feeling of death and you competed? That is more along the lines of stupidity than dedication on your part. Kobe goes on eatfeats and if he reads what you just said about him he will not be your friend anymore

    Lerman you call 63 hot dogs and buns in 12 minutes not being able to compete with the new competition! It would take three Don Lermans to give this man competition. The top guys know Kobe is always a threat and he is respected more at the table then you or almost any eater out there. Kobe can still hold his own, he is like the Michael Jordan of our sport.

    I failed to mention that on route to the matztah ball final plus having 103 fever and influenza That I broke my left inexfinger ( MY EATING HAND)on the way to the contest in the long island rail road as I was walking off a train. I told the sponser that wild horses coulnt keep me from competing to defend my title , I went down swinging. but I didn’t let the fans down .
