The manager said to TMZ that Barker, 94, is doing better under a doctor's care and that the back pain is related to his fall from 2017.

Barker was previously hospitalized on Oct. 22 for issues also relating to back pain. The former game show host was visited by emergency personnel in his home in Hollywood Hills on Oct. 9 when his back pain first began.

Barker also previously fell in 2015 where he sustained minor injuries after tripping on a sidewalk.
