The Blues skipper is currently sidelined with a nerve problem in his right leg which he has carried over from last season.
The England international has been informed that the injury is not related to his previous back problems, but the complaint has now dragged on for several months.
Terry has revealed that he has not been at full fitness for five years, while nursing various ailments, and knows he needs to rid himself of the problems if he is to get back to his best.
He has sought the advice of four specialists in an attempt to get to the bottom of his current injury and admits he is uncertain when he will be ready to return to Carlo Ancelotti's first-team plans.
Terry told the Daily Mail: "I will get back as quickly as I can but there was no point going to these lengths if I return before I am ready. I need to sort this out once and for all.
"I saw a specialist in London yesterday (Thursday), which was encouraging and I will go back to him today. Then I will travel to Italy again next week for further treatment.
"I have been given some new ideas to try, so we shall see.
"I have read reports that I will be playing as early as next Saturday, but that is a bit premature. We do not know enough yet to make any estimates about my return.
"The good news is that none of the specialists believe it is related to the back injury, so now we go from there."
