Pain caused by a double portion of sausage (6)

Ross

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)

'a double portion of sausage' is the wordplay.
'a double' becomes 'twin' (twin can mean someone's double).
'portion of sausage' becomes 'ge' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'twin'+'ge'='TWINGE'

'caused by' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for twinge that I've seen before include "Sharp localised pain" , "Sudden stab of pain" , "Emotional pang" , "A slight stab of pain" , "A slight jab of pain (6)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
