'unable to move easily' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'anger suppressed by doctor' is the wordplay.
'anger' becomes 'ire' (ire is intense rage).
'suppressed by' is an insertion indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'doctor' becomes 'md' (synonyms).
'ire' put within 'md' is 'MIRED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mired that I've seen before include "Bogged down" , "Stuck in the mud" , "Sunk in deep mud" , "covered in muck" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
