Very disappointed in my last E.R. visit.

So i went to the E.R. tonight for moderate pain in my lower abdomen and frequent urination ( suspected a UTI ). After my urine came back clean and free of sugars the E.R. doctor gave me the dreaded swab saying that he suspected gonorrhea or chlamydia. I informed him that I'd been with the same partner for 9 years and that this didn't seem likely
His only response to this was that she should get checked too. Now my concern is that I'm being medicated for something that I do not have. Neither the doctor or the nurse that came in and gave me seven pills to take stuck around long enough for me to ask a single question. I'm also on penicillin for a tooth infection and I'm not sure if I should take it with the other meds. The actual diagnosis was Urethritis which can be caused by other things I'm sure but I'm having no burning at all when I urinate and no discharge at all. Unless this can be carried for over 9 years without symptoms ( which I know it cant ) I feel they just wanted me out fast and tagged me with an STD. I was prescribed pyridium for symptoms ( some type of AZO? ) and given vantin/suprax and zithromax ( the seven pills ) I'm sorry that this is all over the place but I'm very upset at the moment and at a loss for what to do. Should I file a complaint somewhere? Who should I contact? Is this negligence? Somebody help me please. Thanks.
