Spondylosis how is it different from AS

I was diagnosed with spondylosis years ago. Is that the beginning of AS? What symptoms, my back is in really bad shape, stenosis, scoliosis, 5 disc's herniated and or bulging..I am also a long covid person, suffering with Indistitional lung disease, fibrosis. 71 years old.
Try to keep going but some it's just happening.
