A gym Ali used for muscular pain (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

myalgia

'muscular pain' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a gym ali used' is the wordplay.
'used' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'gym'+'ali'='agymali'
'agymali' with letters rearranged gives 'MYALGIA'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for myalgia that I've seen before include "sort of pain!" , "painful muscle condition" , "Muscular pain" , "Muscle pain" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
