So you would say "dolor de ..." and fill in whatever body part? The "de" is a unique sentence structure with "dolor"?

Also, is "dolor" used figuratively, too? For example, in English we say that something is "a pain in the neck" or something is "a pain". In Spanish, can I say that something/someone "es un dolor" or "es un dolor de cuello"?
