I dont have a sore thoriat interms of the soreness you would have with a typical sore throat just that it feels blocked. Doc said that is should go away but it seems to have gotten somewhat worse in the last week.
Any advise from those who went before me?

An MRI would show the relationship between the esophagus and the plate, where food might have a tough time squeaking by. Try flexing your head forward and turning it to the side just prior to swallowing...
