Still achy after 21 months....

I'm a pretty active 60-year-old guy in Boise, Idaho. My Birmingham was installed April 1, 2015. The joint is functioning well for mountain biking, skiing, and hockey twice a week. However, I still have quite a bit of aching, especially in the mornings. Note that the joint does squeak a bit under certain conditions, perhaps when I'm dehydrated a bit.

I did a couple months of dedicated PT early on. More recently, however, I've been relying on general activity to continue the healing process. And I take an Ibuprophen to take the edge off the ache. Anybody have any advice on how to relieve the aching? Also wondering whether I'll get to the point when I can forget about the new hip altogether....
