Already I went with the Doctor, only that he told me that even I don't need the eyeglasses and but that I'm a trouble in the eyes, and perhaps in this year I will need the eyeglasses.

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"?

I guess it must be an idiom. Someone or something is "a pain in the neck" if they are bothersome. Doing my taxes is a pain. Or, that student in my colleague's 3rd period class is a pain in the neck.

@Lou Ann: Right. A figurative of "dolor de cabeza" can also be something/someone that bothers you.

Well, I'm my parents' pain in the neck. I never beave well. ![]() El álgebra es mi dolor de cabeza. Nunca saco buenas notas. Algebra is my weakness. I never get good marks there. ![]() Mi suegra dejó de ser un dolor de cabeza el día que falleció. My mother-in-law stopped being a pain in the neck the day she died. ![]()
