Travis Barker took to social media Saturday to explain the medical emergency that landed him in the hospital earlier in the week.
He confirmed that he suffered from a “severe life-threatening” case of pancreatitis.
“I went in for an endoscopy Monday feeling great. But After dinner, I developed excruciating pain and have been hospitalized ever since,” Barker tweeted.
“During the endoscopy, I had a very small polyp removed right in a very sensitive area, usually handled by specialists, which unfortunately damaged a critical pancreatic drainage tube,” he continued. “This resulted in severe life-threatening pancreatitis.”
“I am so very very grateful that with intensive treatment I am currently much better,” Barker wrote.
Barker's wife, Kourtney Kardashian, also broke her silence on the medical scare, writing on her Instagram Story, "Oh what a scary and emotional week it has been. Our health is everything and sometimes we take for granted how quickly it can change."
She continued, "I am so grateful to God for healing my husband, for all of your prayers for him and for us, for the overwhelming outpouring of love and support. I am so touched and appreciative."
