Pain, or senses in turmoil (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

soreness

'pain' is the definition.
(I know that soreness is a type of hurt)

'or senses in turmoil' is the wordplay.
'in turmoil' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'or'+'senses'='orsenses'
'orsenses' with letters rearranged gives 'SORENESS'.

(Other definitions for soreness that I've seen before include "Discomfort" , "Pain, tenderness" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
