Hollywood star George Clooney visited a hospital in Germany last month to get his back injury checked.

The 53-year-old 'Gravity' actor periodically loses his spinal fluid after he injured his spinal cord while filming 'Syriana' in 2005. In order to tend to the injury, he should get a routine check-up if needed. Clooney has now returned to Italy. reported E! online.

The star has often talked about how he has not fully recovered from the injury, so much so that in 2011, he thought he would die because of the pain. "I was at a point where I thought, 'I can't exist like this. I can't actually live,'" he had said in an interview three years ago.
