Is it a must that ppl with ra will have more pain and inflammation even if they are taking there meds and eating healthy and doing sports?

No: Continued joint pain and swelling indicates that the inflammation is not under adequate control. Speak with your rheumatologist to see whether your medications need to be adjusted.
