I did the same thing once with a bow that was properly set up for me. I just got lazy and let me grip get poor. Hurt like an absolute SOB for several days.
The way I was taught (an I'm far from an expert, but shot well enough when I practiced) was to make a V with my thumb and forefinger, set the grip in the hollow of my palm, keep the support hand loose and relaxed (don't clench the grip) and once at full draw, make **** sure that the left elbow isn't locked out, or rotated inwards. That will cause this to happen. At full draw I'd always give my left elbow a hair of external rotation, which points your forearm down a bit and keeps it out of the way.
