If the doctors saw signs of reflux it is likely that the reflux is causing the feeling that something is stuck in your throat. The reflux causes irritation and those irritated areas get swollen. The swelling is what you're actually feeling (food like chips can also cause a similar feeling if they scratch or irritate a spot on your throat when you swallow them).

You might try taking Pepcid or Zantac (both available without a prescription) for 2 weeks to minimize the acid reflux and give the irritated areas a chance to heal. If the Pepcid/Zantac don't work you could try Prilosec OTC or go back to the doctor to see if you can get a prescription for a stronger medication.
 
Does it feel constant? is it pain or feel like it is restricting your breathing? Does it feel better in the morning but gets worse thoughout the day and evening? I thin I can help you out if you can tell me some more about it. thanks
