I believe what you may be talking about is the Actiq lollipop, though it is used to treat chronic pain and not just that which occurs after back surgery.

It contains the active ingredient Fentanyl, which is a very potent narcotic and putting it into a lollipop form basically gives it a kind of time released formulation.

Does that sound like what you're thinking about?
