Ok, the very first thing I see is swelling. That can restrict my extension, also. You should try icing and elevating more to get that fluid out of there.
What helped me most with my extension, which lagged behind my bend, was to walk with a longer stride with a heel-to-toe gait. As you stretch out that leg to step forward with a long stride it helps to stretch out those large muscles and tendons in the back of your leg. It worked for me, but it took a while. Those are some large soft tissues to lengthen but they will!
