Travis Barker shares health update after undergoing surgery for 'numb' arm as he is supported by Kourtney Kardashian

Travis Barker shared a health update after undergoing surgery for his 'numb' arm while posing with wife Kourtney Kardashian in his hospital bed. 

The 50-year-old music artist uploaded photos just one day earlier as the TV personality passionately kissed him before the procedure, but did not share the reasoning at the time.

The Blink-182 drummer took to his Instagram stories on Wednesday to reveal that he underwent the surgery to fix a nerve and is already on the mend. 

'I had surgery yesterday,' he penned. 'My arm, hand and fingers have been numb since a show I played last month.'

Barker explained that he 'did a nerve test Monday after my show and turns out I needed a cubital tunnel release to fix the nerve.' 

The star said he 'wanted to get ahead of it and get it over with so that I can keep playing the way I play for a long long time. Should be good in a few weeks.' 

He then humorously added in conclusion, 'Not sure why my wife looks happy about this.' 

Barker included a selfie that Kardashian took as she cozied up next to the drummer with a small smile on her face. 

The music artist could be seen wearing a hospital gown and cap over his head as he looked out a window nearby. 

Daily Mail has reached out to a rep of Barker for comment, but has yet to hear back. 

Just one day earlier, the reality star doted on her husband in the hospital before he underwent surgery. 

Kardashian was seen planting a passionate kiss on her Blink-182 rocker partner ahead of his procedure. 

The pair put on a typically loved-up display as Barker captioned the snap, 'My beautiful wife by my side.' 

His daughter Alabama, 20, whose mom is Barker's ex-wife Shanna Moakler, was also by his side.

Three years earlier, the drummer had surgery on his finger for a torn ligament.

In a post shared on Instagram in March 2023, Barker revealed that he had undergone surgery for a torn finger ligament.

He later revealed that the procedure had been a 'success' before giving a special shout out to his fans. 

'Thank you for all the love and prayers and understanding this week as I went into surgery,' he penned at the time. 

'So grateful for Dr. Shin and that my surgery was a success so that I can keep doing what I love and see you guys on tour soon.' 

He was pictured laying in a hospital bed with his left hand wrapped in a cast. Kardashian reposted the same image along with the caption, 'thank you God, amen.' 

The music artist and Kardashian have been married since 2022 and share one son, Rocky, two.

In addition to Rocky, Kardashian is mom to Mason, 16, Penelope, 14, and Reign, 11, with ex Scott Disick. And Barker shares three children, stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya, 27, Landon, 22, and Alabama, with Moakler.

Barker's Hulu documentary Louder Than Fear was released on August 13.

In the film, it was revealed that Kardashian suffered a 'devastating' miscarriage six months into her romance with the rockstar.

Barker also discussed the couple's love story, which began in 2021 after years of friendship.

Kardashian, who revealed they were going to name their daughter Tulip, said in the documentary: 'When we lost the baby, we were devastated. We cried for days.'

He revealed he fell 'madly in love' with Kardashian and they felt blessed when they found out she was pregnant.

They were expecting a girl, and even shared the news with loved ones before a three-month scan revealed the tragic news that their baby no longer had a heartbeat.

The couple went on to welcome Rocky on November 1, 2023 after failed IVF attempts culminated in the star ultimately conceiving naturally.
