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

'pain' is the definition.
(pain in the body)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for stitch that I've seen before include "Pain caused by running" , "One in time saves nine" , "closer" , "Sew - sharp pain in side" , "A result of running" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
