Practise doler the way you learned gustar: me duele la espalda (one thing hurts), me duelen los ojos (several things hurt). The verb agrees with the body part, not with the person.
Use the article, not a possessive, with body parts: me lavo el pelo, me rompí la pierna. Saying mi pierna in these sentences sounds like a word-for-word translation from English.
Learn la mano as an exception from day one. It ends in -o but is feminine, so every adjective agrees: la mano izquierda, las manos frías.
Learn the false friend embarazada (pregnant) before you ever need the word for embarrassed (avergonzado/a). It is one of the best-known slips in Spanish.
