I believe the answer is:

twinge

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

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

'left-winger's short-lived' is the wordplay.
'TWINGE' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I am unsure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for twinge that I've seen before include "Momentary pain" , "A slight jab of pain (6)" , "Sudden localised pain" , "Brief sharp pain" , "A small pang, of pain or concience" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
