Did you fall on it or something? When I was playing high school ball I jammed my wrist taking a charge and it made it hurt to do quite a bit, including bench.
I went to a chiropractor (that was a sports trainer, not a quack). He worked on it and it was like new again. I hold the bar like you describe. Once I got put back together I could still hold the bar in the center of my hand instead of resting it on my thumb. If the injury happened outside of lifting, it may not be how you hold the bar. I'd at least talk to a decent chiropractor.
