Most dogs do very well wearing a baby onesie instead of a cone as long as they don't try to bite through it.
Some vets don't prescribe pain meds because they think that the dog will feel too good and get hyper, however, pain meds can make them sleepy which is a good thing and, unless there is an underlying medical condition that makes pain meds dangerous, it seems really unfair to the dog to cut into its abdomen without prescribing meds. That is, in a way, like a female having a hysterectomy without meds. It would be extremely painful.
Shaking is a sign of pain along with depression and some dogs try to hide it.
She could very well be hurting. I would insist on meds.
