  I converted from a Chopart amputation to a Symes on the 16th of October.  Does anyone have an educated answer as to when I should start getting fit for a new prosthesis?  I know that it might depend on how much the person swells but my doctor said that I don't have as much swelling as most people.  I don't want to get fitted too early and then run into problems.  Thanks, Belinda.
