What Causes Pain In Shoulder Blade Along With Arm Weakness?

I have a pain in my shoulder blade that causes pain and weakness down my arm. I have had this pain for over a month and it hasn t gotten any better. I have started working with a trainer to build the muscles in my shoulder hoping that would help but so far I haven t seen a change in the pain. I am 56 years old and have experienced a lot of changes in my body and I really want to get myself in better shape. Do I need a chiropractor?
