> It seems that resolution of the dispute caused the symptoms to subside. What I haven’t noodled out yet is whether eliminating the stressor of litigation also eliminated the stimulus of psychosomatic subjective complaints, or whether eliminating that stressor triggered some sort of objective change in the person’s physical condition.

Or the client greatly exaggerated the "symptoms" for personal gain and thus doesn't have to fake it anymore. I've had many friends/family members reportedly fake (or greatly exaggerate) injuries, sue, and then brag about it afterwards. It seems incredibly common in the United States.
