Hi there.
Spondylolisthesis surgery is advised if the grade of the disease is more than 2 and is advancing.
If such is the case with you then I think that by delaying surgery you are only prolonging the inevitable. ..which might actually do more harm than good .
Steroids like beta cap have their own disadvantages. These are nausea drowsiness headaches weightgain osteoporosis (bone loss) and I as a practioner would definitely not recommend it for such a long duration .
Prothiaden can cause drowsiness and is mostly used as a mood elevator .
I hope my advice has helped
Good luck
