it means that it's not intense pain. it could be a mild or even a numbing pain.

It doesn't hurt all the time, sometimes you don't feel anything. The pain is not anything extremely uncomfortable just kind of annoying. It is in an area while sharp pain in is deep pain in a particular area.
Dull here means the opposite of sharp. Sharp pains are very painful and don't let up.

As opposed to a sudden, stabbing pain, which usually stops within a short time, a dull pain is one that is not so intense, but lingers.

If you think of "sharp" pain as one that has a sort of stabbing sensation, then dull pain is the opposite. It's more of a sore, achy feeling.

a dull pain usually affects a small area but is not sharp...the best i can explain it would be banging your lef on something and having that annoying pain although not that bad on your thigh.
hope this helps a bit

It is an ache more than a pain, in contrast to the stabbing pain, where it feels like a knife tearing through you.

a ache, or a pain dispersed around the area, not like a sharp pain that is definite in one area.
