Something went wrong with my Endoscopy

Haven't been able to swallow solids for a month now. Last week I had an endoscopy and when I came out of the anesthetic I had horrible back pain. Long story short I was hospitalized and after 2 days of tests was told I have reflux and to take the meds prescribed and was discharged. That was 6 days ago and I still cannot swallow anything more than liquids. I'm losing weight that I cannot afford to lose and am getting weaker all the time from not eating anything but Boost and yogurt. The endoscopy with dilation plus two cat scans showed the esophagus wasn't blocked. I don't know where to turn next. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
