Surely not at 23, but hey pain is pain sorry to hear yours is so bad but keep on trying to find out, long journey before any doctor worth his salt will commit him' or herself to diagnosis...best wishes

Ankylosing spondylitis actually does start really young - in fact one of the criteria for diagnosis is that it started before the age of 30. I've had it since about age 15 (though it didn't get bad until much later), and lots of people start getting symptoms in their early 20's. Its very difficult to diagnose though until it has actually done damage, so there is often a delay of 8-10 years before diagnosis.
