Can anyone help me?

Are the symptoms of spavin the same or difference from hind suspensory damage?

My horse is lame on his right hind and is worse after flexion - physio has been out today has he also has a sore back which could be connected. His left canter has gone very laboured and four time.
The vet is booked for Monday afternoon but I guess I'm just trying to prepare myself for his visit.
 
Sounds it. Our horse went lame after a long long period of just looking stiff and walking very 'clumpy' with his back legs.

If it makes you feel any better, a month ago our horse had the surgery on both legs. Today, he jumped 4ft, uphill, out of his field, without touching the tape!
