Neurological issue?

It takes about a few months for a part of my body to shoot at a point for a few seconds and feel burning, and then move to another point. I also had an MRI without an injection, but I did not have any problems with my brain or spinal cord, and I do not have diabetes. Do you know what the problem is?

Your question points out the fundamental way to make a diagnosis - meet with patient, listen carefully and attentively , and examine patient and then order appropriate testing

Very difficult to give you any specific advice

Stick with your medical team or get second opinion

Good Luck
Recommend neurology evaluation.
Your symptoms are consistent with neuralgia. Neuralgia may arise from pressure, from compression, from inflammation, from infection, from prior injury or prior compression, or previous infection or inflammatory process. MRI tests do assess for bone pressures or tumor growths or focal infection from an abscess. Nerve conduction studies are helpful to localize which nerve branches are affected. Blood testing is valuable to assess kidney and liver disease. Vitamin testing is essential. Hormone testing is essential. Avoiding tight clothing is important.

From only what you have written and your age, I would think that Fibromyalgia is a possibility. You could “google “ the diagnosis at reputable sites, like The Mayo Clinic, or Johns Hopkins, and if the description does not sound like what you have, then write back with more information.
I think what you are describing we all have at one time or another. Some of us are more keenly aware and others if particularly brief pay no attention to this. If it continues and becomes more frequent and longer-lasting then you may be developing a neuropathy. in a young person presumably with no medical problems and on no medication; That would warrant further medical evaluation. Dr. F
