Pain in some strained body part (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trachea

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'body part' is the definition.
('trachea' is part of 'body')

'pain in some strained' is the wordplay.
'pain' becomes 'ache' (ache is a kind of pain).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'some strained' becomes 'tra' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ache' put inside 'tra' is 'TRACHEA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for trachea that I've seen before include "The formal windpipe" , "air passage" , "membranous tube" , "get air supply through this" , "pipe" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
